Texas football left no doubt who owns its rivalry with Arkansas. The Longhorns dismantled the Razorbacks 52-37 on Saturday in Austin. Arch Manning lit it up with almost 400 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. He also caught a touchdown and ran one in. Jelani McDonald picked off a pass for Arkansas as well.
A USTIN - The Texas Longhorns (7-3) return home to Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, where they are set to welcome their old Southwest Conference rival Arkansas Razorbacks (2-8), hoping to keep their slim College Football Playoff hopes alive.
Arkansas football got blown away in the third quarter, and Texas cruised to the finish line. The Razorbacks have now lost nine consecutive games.
ESPN reporter Pete Thamel reported during the Razorbacks' game at Texas that Arkansas' search for a new coach is nearing its end. What Thamel said:
Arkansas Razorbacks legend Dan Hampton has been announced as a special guest celebrity at the First Ever 23rd Annual World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Hot Springs on March 17, with actress Carmen Electra as the grand marshal and American Ninja Warrior host Matt Iseman as official starter.
Texas coach and play caller Steve Sarkisian fooled the Arkansas defense with Manning on the end-around before wide receiver Parker Livingstone floated the ball back to Manning in the corner of the end zone.
